That the body is now more susceptible to
benefit from medicine than at any other sea-
son. Hence the importance of taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla now, when it will do you the
most good. 1t is really wonderful for puri-
flying and enriching the blood, creating an
appetite, and giving healthy tone to the
whole system. Be sure to get Hoods Sar-
saparilla, which is peculiar to itself.
